NCT04608474
Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of mortality after renal transplantation, accounting for more than 30% of deaths. Elevated lipid levels (hyperlipidemia) are a frequent finding following transplantation and the immunosuppressive medications play a central role in the development or worsening of hyperlipidemia. In the general population, the correlation between elevated serum cholesterol and increased risk of cardiovascular disease is well established and the reduction in serum LDL cholesterol has proved to significantly reduce both morbidity and mortality. Statin based drugs are the standard of care in the management of hyperlipidemia. Commonly used statin-based drugs include atorvastatin (Lipitor), fluvastatin (Lescol, Lescol XL), lovastatin (Mevacor, Altoprev), pravastatin (Pravachol), rosuvastatin (Crestor), simvastatin (Zocor), and pitavastatin (Livalo). These drugs have been proven to lower lipid levels as well as cardiovascular risk. However, statin-based drugs also cause a variety of side effects. While the most commonly encountered side effects are toxicity to the liver and muscles, a few others have also been known to cause increased excretion of protein in the urine and kidney failure. These side effects are also more common in a renal transplant recipient due to the simultaneous administration of drugs that prevent rejection. Therefore, there is an emergent need for newer drugs which are both efficient and safe especially in this population PCSK-9 inhibitors (Proprotein Convertase Subtilisin Kinase-9 inhibitors) are a new class of drugs that are highly efficient in lowering lipid levels in the general population. However, an exclusive trial involving kidney transplant recipients is yet to be done. Through this study, we would like to evaluate the safety and tolerability of Evolocumab (trade name: Repatha) which is a PCSK-9 inhibitor developed by Amgen, Inc in renal transplant recipients. The study would involve a total of 120 patients across 3 different hospitals in Boston, Massachusetts.
NCT02934568
This study is to allow continued use of ribociclib (LEE011) as single agent or in combination with other investigational treatments in patients benefitting from treatment in an eligible Novartis-sponsored ribociclib (LEE011) study that has reached its primary objective(s) or has been halted for other reasons.
NCT06538636
Lung cancer is responsible for more deaths in the United States than breast, prostate and colon cancer combined and is the number one cancer killer of Veterans. This is because lung cancer is usually diagnosed when the disease has spread, and cure is less likely. Lung cancer screening (LCS) finds cancer at an earlier stage when it is curable, yet only 20% of eligible Veterans have been screened. Uptake is even lower among Black Veterans despite higher lung cancer risk. Using prediction models to identify high-benefit people for whom LCS should be encouraged improves efficiency and reduces disparities. Moreover, it is more patient-centered as shared decision-making conversations can be tailored with personalized information. The US Preventive Services Task Force has called for research to demonstrate that prediction-augmented LCS can be feasibly implemented at the point-of-care. The investigators propose for VA to lead this effort with a large-scale pragmatic clinical trial to show that prediction-augmented LCS is both feasible and improves LCS uptake.
NCT06312644
The primary objective of this study is to describe the frequency and characteristics of pregnancy outcomes and maternal complications among participants exposed to Ultomiris and to describe the frequency and characteristics of selected fetal/neonatal/infant outcomes in utero, at birth, and through 1 year of age after exposure in utero or via breastmilk.

NCT03412747
This is a study to compare the efficacy of bimekizumab versus adalimumab in the treatment of subjects with moderate to severe chronic plaque psoriasis (PSO).
NCT03410992
Phase 3 study to compare the efficacy of bimekizumab versus placebo in the treatment of subjects with moderate to severe chronic plaque psoriasis.
NCT04466683
Low doses of radiation in the form of chest x-rays has been in the past to treat people with pneumonia. This treatment was thought to reduce inflammation and was found to be effective without side effects. However, it was an expensive treatment and was eventually replaced with less expensive treatment options like penicillin. The COVID-19 virus has emerged recently, causing high rates of pneumonia in people. The authors believe that giving a small dose of radiation to the lungs may reduce inflammation and neutralize the pneumonia caused by COVID-19. For this study, the x-ray given is called radiation therapy. Radiation therapy uses high-energy X-ray beams from a large machine to target the lungs and reduce inflammation. Usually, it is given at much higher doses to treat cancers. The purpose of this study is to find out if adding a single treatment of low-dose x-rays to the lungs might reduce the amount of inflammation in the lungs from COVID-19 infection, which could reduce the need for a ventilator or breathing tube.
NCT04800692
This study will focus on people with claudication from peripheral arterial disease. The investigators are researching whether a multicomponent therapeutic can increase the production of Nitric Oxide in the blood and whether that leads to an improvement in pain free walking distance and overall physical activity.
NCT06082960
The main goal of this first in human (FIH) study is to learn about the safety and dosing of GS-9911 when given alone or in combination with an anti-programmed cell death protein 1 (PD-1) monoclonal antibody in participants with advanced solid tumors. The primary objectives of this study are to: * Assess the safety and tolerability of GS-9911 as monotherapy and in combination with an anti-PD-1 monoclonal antibody in participants with advanced solid tumors * Identify the maximum tolerated dose (MTD)/maximum administered dose (MAD) and the recommended dose for expansion (RDE) of GS-9911 as monotherapy and in combination with an anti-PD-1 monoclonal antibody in participants with advanced solid tumors
NCT06379789
Participants in this study have a genetic mutation, specifically in the coagulation (blood clotting) Factor 9 gene that causes severe or moderately severe hemophilia B. This study is researching an experimental gene insertion therapy (the adding of a gene into your DNA) called REGV131-LNP1265, also called the "study drug". Gene insertion therapy aims to teach the body how to produce clotting factor long-term, without the need for factor replacement therapy. The main aim of this study is to find a safe and well-tolerated dose of the study drug by checking the side effects that may happen from taking it, both in the near term and over time. The study is looking at several other research questions including: * How much study drug is in the blood at different times * Whether the body makes antibodies against parts of the study drug, which could make the drug less effective or could lead to side effects. Antibodies are proteins produced by the body's immune system in response to a foreign substance * Whether the body makes antibodies against the clotting factor replacement therapy * How often factor replacement therapy is needed, both on a regular basis for prevention of bleeding, and as needed to treat bleeding events (and it if changes after taking study drug) * Whether there is a difference in 2 different methods for measuring Factor 9 activity in the blood
